The Kids Run the Nation program, developed by the RRCA, is dedicated to supporting and growing youth running programs in schools and communities nationwide. Since its launch in 1986, we’ve distributed thousands of curriculum guides and awarded over $385,000 in grants to programs of all sizes—helping kids across the country discover the joy and lifelong benefits of running.

The Kids Run the Nation program is available to schools, before- and after-school programs, community centers, shelters, nonprofits, and anyone committed to promoting physical activity and healthy lifestyles among youth.

If you’re passionate about getting kids excited about running and helping them develop lifelong fitness habits, Kids Run the Nation is for you!
